Sequential 4-speeds mini gearbox instructions

After many requests, I put at your disposal instructions for building the Mini's mini sequential gearbox.

I know that some of the connections and solutions looks needlessly complex, but this is fact so to fit it to the little mini's nose, you can adapt it to your own car.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!- The red rubbers connect both 1 stud bush under the selector, like this:

- You must change the yellow plate 1x4 for a rack 1x4(ref. 3743), this part doesn't exist in LDD :(- You must change the red axle connector Ridged(ref. 6538a/b) inside the Driving Ring, for an axle connector smooth(ref. 6538c), oriented like this picture:

Finally you can download the LDD file(.lxf) and the step by step instructions(.html) here:Download

I tried to build a fiat 500 (new) with your chassis. Try a linear gearbox. It took less room, allowing me to but in an L motor for more power in the nose. (line the gearbox parallel to driving motor in nose along floor, or else it gives backlash. But otherwise brilliant. Try a 240zg next. =) -Mariko Inaba-

Hi Sheepo,perhaps I already asked too many times but could you show us how the gear shifter/stepper motor drives your transmission? Thats's somethinh i just cant figure out...A photo would do, probably.Cheers

Nice Gearbox, its a similar solution to what I got to with my 5+N+R adaption of your veyron gearbox although you have made the selectors even more compact. I might try to merge the ideas on mine with these and see what happens. However, like previous posts - I am interested how do you precisly pulse the motor for each gear change.
